a good start for us with a home game against the weakest team in the group.
Then we have two hard games on the road.
It would be terrific if we could pick up any sort of points from any of those matches.
The last half is better for us with Man Utd at home followed by Aalborg away, which is a game we really need to be winning.
if it comes down to the last matchday between us and Villarreal then i'm more than happy to have them at home for that occasion.
our managers reaction to the draw -
Quote: : We dont mess about at Celtic we're in the competition so we might as well play the holders of the Champions League, he said.
Last year, we drew AC Milan who were holders and then faced Barcelona in the last 16.
We dont mess about at this club.
I had a funny feeling that we would get Man United.
I was down south earlier in the week and I took in their game against Portsmouth.
I just had a wee feeling when I was watching that game, so I suppose I got my scouting in early.
Villarreals reputation goes before them now, he said.
They are one of those teams where people say, Hey, we dont know much about their history, but that doesnt matter.
They are a first-class side.
Sometimes you can meet teams with a lot of history, but who arent up to much at present.
Villarreal are making their own history now.
They are a top side.
We know all about Manchester United and Villarreal, but Aalborg will be a good side, that's for sure.
We played Copenhagen a few years back and we saw how good they were.
If they can finish above them in the Danish league, Aalborg must be a good side.
Its exciting.
Its another challenge for this group of players and its one we relish.
Its good that the supporters will get to see a few new teams this season and my sister will be happy because her family will have a few new destinations to visit.
hopefully we can see some more magic like this -
i'll be getting my tickets tomorrow.
with our home record we always have a chance -

Pleased with the draw.
I think we can get the same results as we did with United two seasons ago, but at least a point wouldn't be too bad.
I'm glad you pointed out the final home game.
The importance of it can't be overstated, its simply massive.
Looking forward to the campaign, I love the Champions League, hopefully this will be the launching pad to our last eight run...
Its also good to see wee Shaun in those vids from two seasons ago, he will definitley be a big boost for us.

Yep. it could well be a very big game but i have a feeling we may get some joy on our travels this year.
It would seem that GS is looking for a 4-5-1 away from home with Aiden and Shaun out wide and Naka as the advanced midfielder with two holding midfielders behind.
I can see Crosas seeing plenty of CL time as we try to gain more possession and more of a foothold in matches, especially away games.
Quote: : Its also good to see wee Shaun in those vids from two seasons ago, he will definitley be a big boost for us.
He definitely has the ability to open up tough defenses and hopefully he'll continue the fine form he showed in his SPL comeback game.

You'll probably be able to watch all (or at least most) champions league games live online at:
www.justin.tv
Go to the website on the matchday, at game time, click on sports..
And sort through all the streams.
I only tried it this past Tuesday and I opened two internet explorer windows and watched the Barcelona/Warsaw and the Juventus/Artmedia matches at the same time, both live.
You don't have to download or sign up for anything (maybe just register, but not even sure if you have to do that).
Hope it works out for you all.
CMON CELTIC!!!!

CMON CELTIC!!!! and there's even the option of having a small pop-out window, you know, for clandestine viewing if you're at work or something.

Just make sure that when the Hoops score and you jump up and down at your desk while pumping your fist in the air, you quickly tell your boss that you're really happy about the sales figures for the week.
